No one is really going to be able to tell you where the leak is. From that picture, it looks like the radiator is defective, like it is leaking where the tank seals to the tubes. BUT, it may be coming from another location higher up and running down. Best thing to do is clean it off anywhere you see coolant, then start it up and watch for a fresh leak. Make sure you look above that spot for it leaking and even to the sides. Good Luck, I hope it is an easy find and fix.
